I have been in the medical billing business for about 5 years now and am thinking about going out on my own. I have no idea where to start. Can anyone tell me the first steps to take and approx what the start up costs will be? I will be billing from home and am not sure how that works with the software I purchase. I am looking into Medisoft and trying to figure out how I connect or if I have to connect to the doctors offices. There is so much to the business part that I am afraid I will jump into something to fast! Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...thanks...Tonya

The first place to start is with your city's government office. Everyone has a different requirement to open a business from your home. I had to have an HOP, and a business license to begin. Once you get that information, you can then look into doing your business plan on how you want to develop and grow your business.

I just found the forum and I have some specific questions. I have been billing for DME for 9 years and have a chance to do some billing for a sales rep who fits braces in doctors offices and he wants someone else to do his billing. My question is will he have a npi or do I have to get one and set up like a business . I am confused on how I will bill for this because I am used to billing for a particular othotist. I guess it is like stock and bill which I am not familar with can anyone give me some answers so I know where to go with this.
Thanks.

hummmmmm, is he looking for you to billing or invoicing??? The Sales Rep isn't selling to the client, but to the Provider, so he shouldn't be billing insurance.

I need help in growing medical billing business. I was working partime for Gyn doc as medical biller since 2007. Then in 2009 I get job as collector in one of the top medical billing company in US. I am working on AR. Also now I am doing billing for Gyn doc from home. Now I want to grow in my own medical billing business. I have named the firm. My next step is to make website, brochures, and required marketing material. Side by side I am looking for software. Here I am confused from where to start. Firts I want to know about any reliable company who can make attractive website, brochures and other marketing materials for medical billing. I have studied Claimtek but they are very expensive. Also I have heard that their support is not good. Any sugestions will be helpful.
